WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Barolo Giovanni Rosso 2019 is produced using traditional winemaking methods. Grapes undergo a long maceration period of approximately 25 days in cement tanks, with daily pumping over and délestage to extract desired components. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for a minimum of 38 months, with at least 18 months spent in large oak casks (botti grande), which are typically 25-50 hectoliters in size. Harvest usually commences in October. The producer's philosophy centers on expressing the unique terroir of Serralunga d'Alba through rigorous, natural cultivation and time-honored winemaking techniques.
